After many years playing only six strings acoustic guitars, I felt the need to add something different to my arsenal and in the past year I have tried, purchased, often re-sold, many different instruments : octave mandolin, mandolin, mandola.
Among these, my favorite is the mandolin. Then, a few days ago, I stopped at Elderly in Lansing, MI, and discovered some tenor guitars in the showroom. A GoldTone, a Martin LXM tenor, and a Blueridge T 40. Wow ! What a great surprise ! I just LOVED the sound, and on an impulse I bought the one I liked better: a Blueridge T 40.
Now I am at home, and am trying to learn some basic tenor guitar chords with the help of some chord charts that I downloaded from Internet (some chords are very similar to mandolin/mandola chords).
But I could not find any Instruction manual, or CD, or on-line lessons.
Does it mean that I have to learn the instrument by myself ?
Can you suggest some tutorial that will help me to progress, if there is one ? Thanks!
